Wild Ride: Rik and Isis In 17th Century Egypt

Rik and Isis had been together since their school days and shared a deep, unbridled devotion to one another. Through thick and thin, they quite literally had each others' backs, never allowing anything to come in between them. It was summertime on the brightest night of the year in Cairo and they were both itching to get out and get some excitement. They decided to dress up in their best clothes - Rik adorned in a slightly tattered yet stylish blazer while Isis wore a sleek white jumpsuit that showed off her curves - and hopped onto their two Harley Davidson hover bikes. It was their favorite form of transport, not to mention the quickest and most exciting night ride in town.

The two lovers rode around the city, indulging in the seediest places. They went to many dark alleys, dimly lit pubs and clubs ,looking for fun and adventure. As more hours passed, their thrill seeking an hedonism grew more intense, as did the possible consequences of their actions. In their increasingly mad state, they had let go of some of their inhibitions, only to become further wrapped up in the drama and risks that took a hold of their night.

As their wild night on the town continued, Rik and Isis got separated for a brief moment. This set off internal maelstroms in both their loves, pushing them to contemplate what it is exactly that they are searching for in these late night escapades. Rik found himself taking longer test drives on his bike, while experimenting with different kinds of stunts. On the other hand, Isis was exploring the darker moments of her soul; grappling with her same-sex desires in the shadow of societal pressures.

The two were then suddenly pulled back together at the peak of their journey by a rugged-looking rogue seemed like he had something very important to tell them. With a critical and urgent tone, he explained to them that they were risking much more than their safety and reputations by indulging in their activities. He told them of a hidden story that was centuries old - of a legendary tale of two lovers just like them who fought against all odds to be reunited and make their relationship work.

The remarkable legend inspired them, pushing them to test themselves and trekins somebody should come and befriend them who, besides physical safety, might be able to offer them emotional anchoring and a safe haven. At this point in the story Rik and Isis are feeling an energetic anxiety and panic racing through their veins and have the feeling that the night is only mean to bring outcomes of hardship and sorrow. But they refuse to lose hope and they drive in the direction of the rising sun, guided by their conversation with the rogue and their conviction that it is up to them, to write the story of their own life.

At long last, after much topsy-turvy, Rik and Isis make it to the end of their escapade. As the road splits in two in front of them, Rik and Isis take very different routes. Isis is directed to a seemingly shady bars while Rik is pulled towards the glowing walls of some old, forgotten palace. The doors to the palace open, and standing in front of them is a figure dressed in perfect gold that had been promised to them by the lonesome rogue from earlier. This was their opportunity to glimpse what lies beyond their world of doubts and unleash the freedom of embracing their love for one another. Beyond the tables of luxurious food, over the balcony looking out on the dawn, between the endless conversations full of laughter, was something unique, something shocking, something out of this world.

The pair is both equally stunned by what they witness. It was two women, fulfilling the prophecy of the rogue. They were obviously in love, violating all rules and norms of their time, standing there deeply embedded in their own embrace, staring back at Rik and Isis’ with ever calm eyes. With sincere kindness, they welcome Rik and Isis into the palace and take turns to share the power of their incredible story with them. It was the exact same stories about lovers risking rejection, danger and ridicule to be together and win in the end.

With newfound respect for each other and the courage gifted to them by the legendary gold-clad figure, Rik and Isis went back home to face their own story with a flame in their hearts burningly powerful with the freedom and truer sense of devotion their night out taught them.

This legend has been living through the annals of history, ever ready to morph and change when required, but ultimately, the lesson of its power remains the same - passion and loyalty will never fail you. Rik, Isis - and all their successors - left that extraordinary night on the town learning to do things that many were afraid or even forbid them to do, learning to follow not the paths of least resistance , but the paths of their own carefully chosen dreams.

And thus, the thrilling story of Rik and Isis came to its natural ending, allowing them to turn a new leaf and live according to their own terms.
